PPT-Radioactive Decay

Why are some elements isotopes more stable than others The Nucleus The Electric Force Protons hate Protons Strong Force Strong Force Facts Neutrons act like cement Strong Force is very strong over a small distance about the distance of two protons. Chapter 25. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist whose research led to many discoveries about radiation and radioactive elements. In 1934 she died from leukemia caused by her long-term exposure to radiation. You will learn about the various types of radiation and their effects.. Radioactivity.

When the nucleus of an atom possesses either too many or too few neutrons compared to the number of protons it becomes unstable. These are called radioactive isotopes. Unstable nuclei split up in a process called radioactive decay and emit radioactive radiation.. FIGURE 01: Simple Bohr-type model of a lithium atom. Radioactive Isotopes.
